"It is simply a collection of personal observation of experience yielded in the course of two-score or so of as unsentimental journeys as ever were undertaken by the most ordinary tramp.  The collection is the result, not of a labour of love purely--although, of course, a liking for the subject was the prime inducement for entering on its investigation,--but of down-right, jog-trot journey-work."--Preface.
